This Nashville singer’s
turning shame into sound. Hear how she reclaimed her story
Meet Bailey Nrushlow, a 27-year-old Nashville singer-songwriter with a rich heritage spanning Scottish, Greek, French, and Cherokee roots. Her journey of self-discovery, self-love, and body acceptance has not only shaped her artistry but also inspired others to embrace their authentic selves.
Bailey’s Early Struggles With Body Image
Like many women, Bailey faced challenges appreciating her body. At just 14, she experienced self-doubt while struggling to fit into her swimsuit for swim-team practice. Seeing her body’s changes—stretch marks, softness, and curves—left her questioning herself.
Compounded by societal beauty standards and religious conditioning, Bailey felt pressured to conform. These influences made her believe that fully accepting her body was abnormal.
The Path to Self-Appreciation and Body Love
It took a decade of growth and self-discovery for Bailey to find comfort in her own skin. She learned to embrace her menstrual cycle, celebrate her body’s natural abilities, and take pride in her curly hair and authentic self.
Breaking free from unrealistic beauty ideals allowed Bailey to live more freely and embrace her natural beauty, creating a foundation for self-love that radiates in her music and daily life.
For Bailey, music is more than a career—it’s a form of self-expression and empowerment. She aims for her songs to evoke emotions and resonate deeply with listeners, becoming the soundtrack to meaningful life moments—from first dances at weddings to moments of healing.
One song in particular, "(Simply) The Best," symbolizes her journey. Singing it as if proclaiming herself as the best version of herself gives Bailey confidence and serves as a reminder of her strength and beauty.
Bailey’s Message of Self-Love for Others
Bailey encourages women struggling with body image to:
- Care for themselves for their own sake, for ancestors, and for future generations.
- Recognize that self-acceptance starts individually, and each person has the power to create a more compassionate world.
